3 Add context sensitive options for most commands
6 ========LOW priority items:
7 Use settings object to size the restore window. Similar to the saving of the
8 state of the main window.
10 Human readable in joblist for purged, joblevel and job type.
12 Possibly a stack of past screens so that when you open a window from another,
13 closing would bring the previous one back.
15 Is there a way to query the director/database for whether a storage is currently
16 mounted so I am not presenting both mount and unmount to the user??
18 Yes, but it requires being able to directly connect to the SD (at least
22 Is there a way to identify a slot as having a cleaning tape???
23 (Kern says more work needs to be done in bacula with autochangers)
25 Yes, there is a cleaning prefix for Volume labels defined in
26 the DIR (not currently available to bat). Typically it is CLNxxx
27 and by looking at the database, you can see these cleaning
30 See if there is a solution to images fun with designer other than:
31 %s/<iconset>[\.\/]*:images/<iconset>images/g
32 %s/<iconset>images/<iconset>..\/images/g
34 Images that are in the binary are referenced with :/images/...
35 This is a Qt convention. If the image is in a file, it
36 can be referenced directly, but for the most part, I prefer
37 images in the binary (not lost, not accidently deleted, no
38 installation problems, ...
40 Think about good ways to clean up the Console creation part of the
43 I don't think it is bad as it is. There is, however, a construct
44 called a Factory that could more or less automate this in one
47 ========================================================
50 A window showing a list of schedule resources.
52 A list of message resources??
54 Kern discussed windows showing statistics like web based interfaces.
56 I think the above is very important.
58 ========================================================
61 The ablility to modify configuration files to create jobs, schedules, filesets
62 and any other director resources.
64 The ablility to modify configuration files to create storage resources.
66 Add a status dir graphical interface. It would auto update every ?? seconds
67 and have a list of scheduled jobs, and in the que to run jobs that could be
68 cancelled graphically.
70 Add a status client window. Keep updating showing what file is being
73 bRestore add code to get working.
75 May be in brestore, find a file by name, find a directory by name
77 ===========================================================
79 ===========================================================
81 I'm not sure about this one?? Things seem to work and I did not do a
82 thing to make it happen: the "dir" is a member of Console
84 - We also must somehow make the low level I/O routines know which
85 director/console to use. Currently they always use the single
86 global one defined in the mainWin class (if I remember right).
88 I'm working on this (kes). It is not so simple, but moving forward
91 Create edit pool interface.
92 This is done from config file
94 ============================================================
96 ============================================================
97 A window showing a list of jobs and defaults. Defaults can be gotten in manner
98 similar to what the first restore window does.
100 status dir on page select director item
101 All items with jobid= that I thought could work from joblist are done.
104 Preferences for the messages timer.
106 Get the 5 second bring to bottom of console to stop
108 joblist cancel a running job.
110 Fixes to final restore widgets.
112 Set default for replace in run restore job to "always"??????
114 Option in joblist like with restore from jobid but restore populating timestamp
117 User preferences. With log to stdout options.
118 Have settings for defaults of limits on joblist
120 Resolve issue of connection during restore selection. Could go with preempt of
121 connections. Temporary resolution is in. (Kern is to work on)
123 Further testing of restore with .mod
124 Tested a few things, not all.
126 Add fileset to joblist.
128 Test left pane of restore with 2 windows drives in one backup job.
129 Yup, id didn't work, now it does.
131 Purging not working from console or from context sensitive.
132 This was a confusion with the restore command. Now resolved.
134 Can produce a segfault by attempting to restore from a restore job. In
135 pre-restore, prevent a job in the list from being a restore job.
137 Need to figure out the functionality and inteligence that the last restore
138 window should have and give it to it. Right now it shows drop downs with no
141 Allow for selecting multiple jobs to restore from in joblist. Right click
142 restore from job works, but not with multiple selected jobs.
144 See if it would be possible to have user provided console text show up in a
147 Get status codes in dropdown for joblist select.
149 Create class to display messages from a specific job. Want the ability to
150 create an instance of that class from joblist.
152 Color code termination code in joblist. I also want a table to convert
153 termination code into human readable text.
155 show purged flag in joblist. Don't have purge option show if already purged.
158 MainWin::setContextMenuDockText
159 MainWin::setTreeWidgetItemDockColor
162 preempt all connections to console with
163 if (!is_connectedGui())
164 or some other mechanism. May find more as users start finding them.
166 Create documentation for any other developers interested in creating
167 new classes to add more pages. Explain how to use the pages class
168 and about not populating until the tree widget is clicked etc...
170 Add numerous are you sure dialog boxes. Like are you sure you want to
171 delete/purge that volume. Show a little of the documentation about what
172 the consequences of delete or purging are.
174 A Tree widget context sensitive menu option and class to jump from known job
175 to surf the filestructure on the job.
176 This was future, but it is kind of done with restore from jobid
178 Get rid of "Warning: name layoutWidget is already used" when make uic's restore.ui
180 Create the ability to start a restore from joblist. Right click, select
181 "restore from Jobid=xx" create an instance of restore defaulting in the jobid
182 or a list of selected jobs.
184 Update README describe bat.conf.example to bat.conf
186 Test restore and get anything not working, working.
187 Add inteligence to prerestore.
189 Color code Media Red->Error Append->green Full/Used->Yellow
191 Get restore into stack.
192 Should the jobs dialog be turned into a page as well??
193 Possilbe: Turn run and label into docked pages. (remove button bar buttons??)
195 Where and bootstrap are confused in runjobs of restore.
196 This was just the labels.
198 Create list of what does not work.
199 From what I can tell, just the restore window on the left.
201 Add option to LIMIT the number of jobs shown in all jobs page for users with
202 multiple hundreds to thousands of jobs.
204 Play with includes to Make these compiles shorter.
205 moved includes of of includes and into files only console.h should be long
207 relabel storage=DDS3 oldvolume=ddsvol003 volume=dds3vol003 slot=3 pool=dds3_hope
208 in label slot spinner, limit the upper to the value of slots for that storage.
210 Fix bug in myth box not working with .sql query="" command.
211 This was a fix in mysql
213 Figure out how to get tables like Joblist to do the equivalent of double clicking
214 on the separating lines between each of the headings.
215 Tried the hard way first. Oops.
217 If the console command line entry docked widget gets the focus, make
218 m_currentConsole the top widget by setting the treewidgetitem selected.
219 Did this in MainWin::input_line almost better to let the person see
220 whatever they want until they hit enter.
222 Set Window titles to reflect what director it is.
224 Must:: get page selector to follow undocked windows. Otherwise
225 current console won't be current.
227 Re-add class for storage, I accidentally reverted because I left
228 it on my laptop. This is why I like committing often.
230 Add class for FileSets
232 Another idea for what you have implemented:
233 - I think that the dynamic pages that you create on the fly
234 should be nested under the item that creates them more like a
237 For example: Jobs on Volume xxx, probably should be shown under
238 "All Jobs" (or Media if that is what created it) and "Jobs of
239 Client Rufus" probably should be shown under "Clients". I base
240 this on looking at the Select page list after I have brought up 3
241 or 4 dynamic pages. Once there are a good number, I get a bit
242 confused where they came from. This would also permit selecting
243 multipe Volumes then displaying multiple pages, one for each
244 Volume selected. If they are nested, then that nested level can
245 be expanded or collapsed, which would be pretty cool at keeping
246 information, but getting it out of the way, sort of like what
247 happens for a directory tree.
250 My original concept was to put these in a tabbed widget. Your Idea may
251 make for a cleaner user experience. I like it. It could save the
252 effort of getting a tabbed widget to work.
255 - I think we need to make the current Director more explicit, by
256 perhaps highlighting it in the page selector when it is current
257 and unhighlighting it when it is not (we could use color as we do
258 for the console, though some color blind people may have
261 - When any director is clicked, we need to set it as the current
262 director and set the current console as well.
264 Remove DoubleClicking, From pages class not needed any more.
266 Broken with multiple directors:
267 - If you click on the second director, it will probably open, but
268 none of the pages that are defined below it will be able to talk
269 to it. They will most likely talk to the first director.
271 - When any console is clicked we need to set it as the current
272 console (m_console) and also set its director as the current
273 director (m_topItem). These are in the mainwin class.
275 - When any page is selected, we must set both the current
276 director (m_topItem) and current console (m_console) that this
277 page is connected to.
280 m_topItem has been changed to Console::directorTreeItem()
281 m_currentConsole->directorTreeItem(); returns disired treeWidgetItem
283 - We also need a concept of a "local" director/console for each
284 page, so the page knows who it is talking to -- this doesn't
285 currently exist, so I think we must pass the director and console
286 to each page widget constructor.
289 m_currentConsole is saved in each page subclass's m_console. This value
290 is set by all but the console class calling Pages::pgInitialie() in it's
293 In short, there is a lot of work to be done to make multiple
294 simultaneous directors work.
299 If the above prooves to be too much, we might consider to only
300 have a single director at a time, and simply let the user select
301 which director he wants to connect to (one at a time, but
302 dynamically). In the end, this may be the best thing to do, so
303 any user who wishes to connect to multiple directors would run
304 two instances of bat. I am a bit unsure now, but the above list
305 of things to do is much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
